Inspired by Hemingway

Six Word Stories can be intesting. On a challenge from friends, Hemingway wrote:

For Sale: Baby shoes. Never Worn.

It sends shivers whenever I read it. Got any of your own?

Quite good. I have come to admire Hemingway's as the iconic example as we can envision a 50 to 75 page short story about the loving couples excited dream of a child and the tragic aftermath of the loss of the same child.

My attempts could be expanded to a paragraph-long joke or a two page expository essay.

The life and death of this woman could be a good novel... or maybe already has been.
